Aaron Heltz

Golden ticket winner cashing in for the first time, introduced as a firefighter from Louisiana; his first name was pulled from the bucket by 'Stage Four' as the show's opening pick. His minute was about a discount hair salon called Wonder Cuts in Denham Springs, Louisiana (he lives in the Baton Rouge suburb), which triggered a long Yelp-review bit that ate most of the first segment. Tony noted he made a long drive to be at the show.

Final bucket pull of the night and the golden ticket winner. From Baton Rouge, Louisiana, three years in comedy, 30 years old, a firefighter for ten years. Drove roughly eight hours with Brock White Lions. Opened with a unisex bathroom/TJ Maxx misdirection joke, then was asked to do two additional minutes on the spot, covering being with his wife since they were 15 and a trans porn percentages bit. Joe DeRosa compared him to an edgier Jeff Foxworthy for delivering dark material in a clean, likable way. Says he has a solid 20 minutes of that caliber.
